BRAZILIAN CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
I was watching “The King’s Speech at a small movie theatre in Westlake
Village when the projector broke. I was transported right then to my
childhood summer vacations in Vitoria, Brasil. One of my relatives
brought me to watch a movie called “Dio Como Ti Amo” at a very
improvised screening room with folded chairs on a dirt floor. During
the movie I heard babies crying and a dog strolling around. I had to
smile.
Here’s Gigliola Cinqueti singing the main song of the movie that was a
hit all over the world. “Dio Como Ti Amo” is a composition by Domenico
Modugno, who wrote “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare) in 1958.

FOR YOU
“If I were called on to define briefly the word 'art', I should call
it the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature, seen
through the veil of the soul."
Quote by French painter Paul Cézanne who was born on January 19, 1838.
“Your physical body is an idea your mind is stubbornly holding on to.”
Deepak Chopra
